Nah, it really needs to be portraits. Most avatars are portraits. (or at least something remotely like a portraitDone. Chose landscape for wall art because there needs to be a painting with a sunset.

Took the survey. Didn't pledge, but I am gonna get this game eventually, no doubt.
Would be cool to be able to get some member artworks up on the walls of the inn.
Real exciting stuff.

Putting down another vote for "Goose and Fox."

There need to be portraits or SOMETHING of green, red, yellow and blue dudes/outlines. A few noblemen or different clerics in coloured robes hoisting their tankards with slight nods to the original colour gang's poses?
Edit
Can't find the original
Oh, I told myself I'd pledge on this, but something came up irl that I totally missed it :\
Voted. That last question is totally going to be lopsided. Who'd vote for a motel? Everyone would want a Ritz.

Thanks to all those who organized this.
Wood/Brick/Round/Round/Portraits/Bright/Common.
I'm content to defer to others on name and concept. I've read a lot of great suggestions in this and the previous threads where the subject came up.

GAF is clean and functional. Not filled up with fancy shmancy bullcrap. Its not for those with egos or the "upper-class".

got another for you guys
Just filled out the survey but I wish I read the thread first. I love the idea for round tables but didn't even think of it while making my selection.
I'm still partial to the Goose and Fox for a name. I'm still saying that the room type be common even though all the patrons argue it's upper class.

I'll crosspost here:
A hub of information, with flavor. Political officials speaking with the intent of being heard, shadowy figures roaming around offering information for sale or even just handing out slips of parchment for those that dare to pursue its truth or falsehood.
To get in, the party must be someone (renown threshold?), run into the owner somewhere in the game world's wilderness, or go in person, put their names on the list with the bouncer and wait for a courier to contact them.
Arguments break out at the drop of a hat, leaving the premises volatile. Several guards roam around, both gritty veterans (e.g. The Bishop, hammer-wielding paladin) and soft-spoken scholars (e.g. the cipher Stump the Nine-Fingered and wizard Nirolak the Splitter), ready to mediate arguments or defenestrate the patrons if necessary. The party can participate in some of these heated arguments, and leverage them to win favor from some of the officials in order to secure information or special access elsewhere, but getting involved and not playing the right cards could result in getting bounced and locked out for a time.
The owner of the inn shows up on occasion carrying souvenirs from foreign lands and gathering members of the inn around with pints to tell a story of adventure.
I think they can manage something like that. ;b

UPDATE 2: Naming the Inn:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2GBGWMM
Have a unique and awesome name for GAF Inn? Please fill in the survey!
Try to avoid memes and something that is more of a phase. Something that is everlasting is definitely preferred. Everyone is welcome to provide the name.
The Top 5 names will be selected, which will be polled in a week.
Good luck!

Submitted my entry, but just would like to point out that I didn't come up with it - it's something suggested from way back in a previous Gaf Inn thread.

Shouldn't each person that comes up with a name also post it here so those who can't think of anything at least have a list to choose?

Even though I'm new to GAF, this is pretty awesome.
Filled out both surveys so far!

haha. this is amazing. xD
So uhhh, how will you select the top 5 names if everyone just tosses in their own names? Are you just gonna count up the ones that sound similar or just select it based on what you think sounds good?
There needs to be a line of people outside the inn trying to get in. If you talk to one of them, they should reply: "this is ridiculous! I've been waiting six months to try to get inside!"
I like the "Goose and Fox" name. The bouncer names suggested by EviLore are perfect. There should be people who are bounced out from time to time, saying things eerily reminiscent of banned gaffers:
"Alright then, I'll just go lie down!"
"For, or Against. Just answer the bloody question!"
"But what he said to that elf was just a joke! You guys are too sensitive!"
"Still Would!"

Put together a new survey with all the suggested names and have people vote that way.
I'm the one who suggested it, I'm glad people like it.Submitted my entry, but just would like to point out that I didn't come up with it - it's something suggested from way back in a previous Gaf Inn thread.

The idea was that a round tavern sign with an orange fox and a grey goose could be made to vaguely resemble the GAF logo without being too obvious. It's very important that nothing looks off to the other players. I just hope there are actually foxes and geese in this universe.

Yeah, I am probably going to filter the names and let people vote on it. Thanks for pitching in the ideas, y'all!

Love this one... Seriously amazing.
I tried "The Gate and Fence"
It's a gated community and I thought fence was a double entendre - for someone selling stolen goods... Looking back I wish I'd spent a few more minutes thought on it

Reason I chose portraits. Portraits of the most famous patrons of the inn.

Tallying up the votes for the art (185 voters total):
· Floors
o Wood
· Walls
o Brick
· Windows
o Round
· Tables
o Round tables
· Wall Art
o Portraits
· Lighting
o Dark and moody
· Room Types
o Luxurious (large bed room with high class accessories)
----------------------------------------
P.S. I'll wait an additional day to give people a chance at naming the inn. A lot of you are picking "Goose and Fox", which is great but a LITTLE diversification would be nice!

While I can get behind everything else, I don't get this one. It seems like the opposite of a representation of GAF, which is pretty minimalist.
If there will also be stories from GAF implemented in the Inn, someone could tell the tale of the singer Dennis the Duck (or Dennis Dye Acke), who spread songs everywhere in the country about 'Goose and Fox' and it's visitors being responsible for everything bad in the world, until he was finally banished and sank with his ship the 'pars quinque'.
Maybe something more fleshed out, but you get the idea.

Expanding on Lore's idea, occasionally the guards should throw out a particular NPC every now and then who admits to the party he'll just return under a different alias to piss on the boorish politicals for shits and giggles.
A quest would involve Ameerox - a powerful and well-known arbiter of the den - who is revealed to be secretly using powerful magicks which alter the memories of past conversations for hidden and insidious ends! The party could choose to side with the dastardly Ameerox, thus gaining free tips or whatever mechanics the GAF Inn would possess at a discount. To reveal his treachery would mean they can get some special "arbiter" privileges at the Inn, which include throwing out NPCs and guiding topics of the conversations.
